    What changes would I make to the fitness industry?

    The fitness industry will start to re-open in the next few weeks and it will emerge a different beast than it was before all this craziness began. Now everyone can accept there are problems within the industry and it seems like a total reset could be the best possible thing to iron out some of those flaws and improve the industry both for the people working in it and people engaging with it. So what are the things I would want to change about the way the fitness industry oper

    Is fitness still a viable career after COVID?

    The fitness industry has been one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, with gyms in the UK being shut for 12 weeks at time of writing. Whilst opening is on the horizon once more, the hardship faced by many fit pros over the last few months may have made you think twice about whether fitness is a viable career in the post COVID world? What will our group fitness look like? Will there still be a demand for in-person training? Will home workouts remove the need for as many gyms?

    The boring stuff: The types of insurance ALL fitness professionals need

    One of the wonderful things about working in the fitness industry is the ability to freelance and be your own boss. You are in control of your own working hours, what clients and gyms you want to work with and can build a business that suits your lifestyle. However, as a freelance business owner you will have some extra things to consider than a full time employee – pensions, tax and insurance. Some of the dryer and more boring parts of adulting, for sure. However, taking con

    How to diversify your fitness career

    A career in the fitness industry is incredibly flexible as you don’t need to pigeonhole yourself into one specialism. Unlike an office job where you are hired to perform a certain role, the skills needed to be a successful personal trainer, group fitness instructor or coach are transferable. The knowledge you accrue from one training course can be applied to many different areas of your work . One of the biggest problems faced by fitness industry workers is income stability,

Whilst there is so much generosity and kindness coming from the community right now, there are also people who see the current unemploym

    How will Coronavirus affect the fitness industry?

    As the world settles in to this new “normal” the fitness industry is accepting that things will not be how they used to for many months to come. At first we tried social distancing and extra cleaning to keep our facilities open, until the government asked us all to close on March 20th 2020. There have already been some huge changes to operations in the fitness industry during quarantine, with many people working out in the front rooms and people rushing to get content on thei
